MEXICAN REBELS ARE ROUTED IN BATTLE Fight Takes Place on Ranch Near ~Agua Prieta—Four Americana Are Freed. Douglas, Arlz., Sept. —Federal troops under Colonel Obregon defeated a band of rebels 27 mjles south of., Agua Prieta at the San Joaquin ranch, according to a telephone message from Fronteras. A number of rebels are said to have been killed. The federals have the wounded, for whom medical assistance was asked. Obregon’s force, numbering 182 men, mostly Yaqui Indians, surprised the rebels as they were eating at San Joaquin ranch. Obregon drove the rebels from the ranch house, capturing a machine gun and eight prisoners. Four Americans who had been taken prisoners by the rebels a few hours before the battle were liberated by the federals and made their way to Fronteras, three miles south, whence they telephoned the news to Douglas. M. L. Pollard, one of the Americans, reported there were 500 in the band, and that Antonio Rojas and Inez Salazar, both rebel leaders, were with them. Pollard and three companions were taking horses from Douglas to the El Tigre mine when they were taken prisoners. Obregon’s position is believed to be precarious, despite his temporary vic- < tory, unless the 400 federals under Colonels Munoz and Alvaredo. somewhere in the vicinity, come to his aid. The presence of so large a force of rebels with two principal rebel leaders within a comparatively few miles of Agua Prieta, caused great surprise, although federal officers had received word that the rebels w’ere preparing to attack Agua Prieta. Obregon’s force was on its way to Agua Prieta from Nacozari by rail when the rebels were encountered. SENATOR MONEY DEAD. Uraemic Poisoning Carries Off Mississippi Statesman.

PW DEEP PROBE INTO MONEY TRUST House Committee Will Investigate Big Men of Finance. MORSE TO TELL HIS STORY Government Has Engaged Prominent Counsel to Carry Through the Work, and Proceedings Are Likely to Be Thorough. New York, Sept. 20—J. Pierpont Morgan and Charles W. Morse will be among the first witnesses called in the money trust investigation to be resumed by the house committee on banking and currency in this city about the middle of November. This was learned from officials of the committee. Deputy Sergcant-at-Arms White of the house of representatives is supposed to have served these two and several other financiers with subpoenas on his arrival from Washington. Mr. White could not be located. It is known, however, that he has subpoenas for Messrs. Morgan and Morse, and also for William Rockefeller, James Stillman, Thomas F. Ryan, George F. Baker, president of the First National bank; Otto T. Bannard, president of the New York Trust company; William A. Nash and Walter E. Frew, respectively chairman of the board and president of the Corn Exchange bank.

Farrar, leader of the New Orleans bar and recently president of the American Bar association, is associated with Mr. Untertnyer as counsel. Major Farrar has been in New York for the last two weeks collaborating with Mr. Untermyer in the work of preparation for the resumption of the investigation in November. Charles W. Morse is expected to relate a more sensational story regarding the operations of the alleged money trust than has been told by witnesses already examined.

U. S. GOES TO THE RESCUE OF GIRLS IN NICARAGUA Starving Inmates of French School If Interior of Country to Be Relieved by Marines. Washington, Sept. 21. —Rear Ad miral Southerland, commanding the American expedition in Nicar&gua, with Major McKelvey and three com panies of marines with three machine guns, joined the battalion of marines under Major Butler that was fired upon and halted by rebels in Masaya last Sunday while attempting to carry a train over the National railway from Managua to Granada to relieve famine threatened French school girls at the latter place. Admiral Southerland is expected to use whatever force may be necessary to open up the Nicaragu an railway and reach Granada. There are a number of American girls in the French institution. The navy department has only a brief dispatch from General Pendle ton, in charge of the marine forces at Managua, reciting that it was neces sary to hurry the three companies and machine guns to Managua. It is re ported that the first detachment sent to the rescue of Granada by Pendleton was fired on at Masaya, a point on th« railroad between Managua and Gran ada. It is therefore assumed that the first detachment, which was commanded by Major Smedley Butler, has not reached Granatfh and has sent a hurry call for reinforcements. The mere facts present a new and dangerous situation in Nicaragua at the very moment when General Mena had given assurances that he would refrain from hostilities. The Nicaraguan government itself has given the United States the right to operate its military forces in Nicaragua for the protection of American citizens and all interests needing protection Washington, Sept. 23. —A delayed cablegram from Admiral Southerland, at Managua, Nicaragua, describing an attack made by 1,200 rebels on a column of American marines and bluejackets, has aroused the state department, which has been trying, but unsuccessfully, to secure further - details. According to this cable, a battle was fought between the American naval forces and the rebels at Barranca, 14 miles south of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, and an equal distance from Granada, a city of 18,000 inhabitants, which the marines were marching to relieve. SECRETS BARED BY BOOKS. George W. Perkins Figures in Harvester Probe Evidence. Chicago. Sept. 30. —The autobiography~bf the harvester combine, in the form of minutes of directors’ and stockholders’ meetings, came into the possession of the government •in response to subpoenas issued in the suit for the dissolution of the International Harvester company. The inside history of the corporation, which the government is attacking as a trust, was laid bare in four big volumes of typewritten records. Edwin P. Grosvenor, assistant to the attorney general, spent much time looking through the minutes for evidence that the company has sought to suppress competition and obtain a virtual monopoly in the production and sale of harvesting machinery. George W. Perkins was figuring piominently in the documentary evidence submitted. ■ Not only was he shown to have been the leading spirit in bringing the leading manufacturers into the combine in 1902, but documents introduced by Attorney Grosvenor showed that he had been the active agent in buying up additional plants after the trust was formed.

INIHMIONAL SUNWSffIOOL . Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 29. REVIEW. GOLDEN TEXT—“The words that I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.’’—John 6:63. That Sabbath most dreaded by many superintendents and schools is the one known as “review Sunday.” It is indeed a test of the ability and skill of the teachers as well as a test of the kind of work done during the past three months. Some condemn the Bible school and compare its work with that of the day school, not taking Into consideration the differences of paid and volunteer teachers, the time devoted to study, the discipline and countless other features that tend to make comparisons odious. Still when all due allowance is made there is indeed too little or else an improper use made of the review Sunday. One method of review is to call out the lessons, twelve in number, and make some comment upon each one or else have some person report upon the subject matter, the golden text, etc. This method may be preceded by having some one tell of that period in the life of Christ from which these lessons are taken; another tell of some events in contemporaneous history and the places Jesus visited during this time. After such statements it would be wise to have a brief statement made as to the subject matter of the lessons for the entire quarter, e. g.. how many have to do with miracles, teachings, etc. Also a statement of the principal persons whom Jesus met. It so happens that during this quarter there is no closely connected thread that runs throughout the lessons and one is at a loss to know just what governed the committee in their selection. It would be well therefore to require a written test from the pupils. A set of questions covering the work of the quarter could be prepared and given to the scholars a week in advance and from this set of questions a half dozen could be selected on the day of the review and the scholars be required to write their answers during the class hour. What Lessons Teach. When it comes to selecting the main truths taught in each of the lesson.* of course there will be a wide variety of opinions. We may therefore be pardoned if our suggestions may not agree with those suggested by others. Beginning with lessen one it seems as though the Master is seeking to show us that all manner of sin can be forgiven except that sin which ascribes to the devil the work of the Son of God. This full and complete rejection of Christ and his work of redemption is what is known as the unpardonable sin. For that man there remains no other remedy for sin. This Is different from merely being misunderstood either by friends or foes; this is the limit of the antagonism of the evil one. The second lesson has to do with the seed, the sower and the soil. It is a great illustration of the method whereby Christ is to extend lus kingdom and of the various sorts of soil, (hearts) in which the seed is to germinate as well as a lesson about what shall be the expected results from the seed thus sown. 1 The third lesson is another illustration of the propagating process. In it we are shown both the intensive and the extensive growth. By the- reference to the leaven in this lesson we are taught, as also in other parables, that in this kingdom evil will also be present. There will be a constant danger of an inward decay. One has but to study church history or . one’s own Christian experience” to know the truth of this principle. . Lesson four, the lesson of the wheat and the tares, is a further teacher along the same line with the added significance of the harvest and the separation incident thereto. I Lesson five teaches us something as regards the value of this new kingdom. Its value was sufficient to compel heaven to yield its dearest treasure. six and seven have ie co with the power of Jesus over wind and wave, over the man possessed of demons and over disease and death. Let us bring out the reason why Jesus thus manifested his power, vlt-, ‘■'that they might see the power of God resting in him,” John 5-36. Faith Essential Lessen sight has to do with the great fact that God has so set farces at work in his kingdom as to make 1 the faith ci man an essentia! requisite In Its advancement among men. It was not, however, an utter failure in Nazareth fcr a few “sick folk were healed.” We need to learn also the lesson es the danger of Jealousy of those of our own friend* whom God may be signally bleastac, and to beware lest we ffiise a great blessing that te near at hand *nd one that others are quick to perwtve. There is also bene the leeeou of Jesus' familiarity with tbs weed. Lacron. nice ds»l« with the death of Johfc khe Baptist and th* eulogy of Jesus as to John's character and work. The implacable b*tred of rebuked evil; the cuuvteaiioh es unbridled hist; tbe tenor of a stricken conBcfenoe and the reward er the faithful are gome of the troths suggested In this lesson. Ncttee that in this lessen there Is no record of word of Jesus. Lesson ten. the Sr-TSding forih of tba disciples and the rules that we to govern their conduct logtrelly followed by the groat :nvtt3ti«k presented In lesson eleven. By him.

DREAMS PROTECT OUR SLEEP Reasonable Explanation of Events Which Have Been a Puzzle to the Minds of Students. Dreams seem a mere play of imagination without any value—the more as every serious student has recognized that it is absurd to think that drfems have any prophetic character. But, in recent times, science has discovered the probable purpose of the dreams, and has found in this case again that nature does not give to us anything which is superfluous. In the present view of science, dreams fulfill the purpose of pro tecting our sleep, aud this end is reached by those apparently meaningless flights of the imagf nation. Most dreams start from some disturbance or excitement of our organism. Something may press oh us, or touch us, or we may hear a sound, or we may have some digestive trouble, or we may lie iu an uncomfortable position, and so on. Any such disturbance would excite the mind and would easily lead to a breaking up of the sleep, which is necessary for us in order to be fresh foi the next day’s work. The dream provides the solution. In creating a fantastic background foi that disturbance, by which the inner excitement becomes adapted to a whole situation in which it fits well, our efforts to remove it becomes sidetracked and the sleej can go on without interruption. We may have thrown off 8 blanket and feel cold. Our dream brings us to a snowy winter land scape in the midst of the cold winter day. where we begin to skate, and all the coldness is then so natural and well adjusted to the whole illusory ex .perience that our mind moves on without destroying the sleep. —From ’ St. Nicholas. Cleaning a Rusty Rifle. It is an easy matter to clean a rusty rifle barrel, but when the rust has pitted the metal 1 to any the ac curacy of the rifle is destroyed. When the rust Is very thick saturate the inside of the barrel with coal oil, and allow it. to soak well in for an hour or more. When the rust has softened somewhat wrap some tow around the ramrod, and pour enough coal oil upon it to thoroughly moisten it, and push in a rotary manner through the barrel and back a dozen times. When the tow gets very dirty renew it and Continue the process until the coarser portion of the rust has been removed, j A round brush of stiff bristles is next ; fixed to the ram-rod, moistened thor- ' oughly with the oil, and twisted into a I barrel, running it back and forth at least a dozen times, thus loosening the dirt that has been more firmly attached to it. The first operation is now repeated, except that the tow on the. ramrod, is left dry, and the rubbing with this must be continued In all directions as long as it comes out soiled. The use of .wire brushes is objectionable for cleaning guns, as the numerous steel points cut into the tube. Careful cleaning of the metal parts after use, and giving them a coat of petroleum or sweet oil when laid aside, will keep a rifle free from rust and ready for use at airtimes. t Why the Country is Deserted. There are all sorts of reasons given why we can no longer keep our young people in the country, and most ot the all sorts of reasons are good, but there is one which is just beginning to be i recognized which is most potent of all, and yet most insidious. In the teachers of the little children in the Country do we find the danger; these teachers, knowing nothing really of rural _ life, instil the thought from the beginning, “Get an education so as to get away from this place into a big city where you can have a chance!” And now our slow-going government i has at last recognized this danger and sends out this warniiig: “The tendency of the rural school to encourage emigration to the city is due to the fact that the course of study in most rural schools is merely a copy of that given to city school children, without reference to the different environment and locar needs of the country child. As a result the authors declare that teachers everywhere, with rare exceptions, have idealized city life, and unwittingly have been potent factors in inducing young men and women to leave the farm and move into the city.”—Universalist Leader. Passing of the Parlor. Another sign of the times is the passing of the parlor and the making of the best room in the house the living room. Time was when the parlor was like a new suit of clothes, only to be used on special occasions. It was usually furnished with uncomfortable chairs that were covered up during the week and used on Sunday. Times have changed, however, and people are furnishing rooms, instead of parlors. Here we find the piano and big. comfortable chairs that are ready for business all the time. Some of the big houses have the drawing room, but in the average home, the living room has taken the place of the parlor. I? is only another sign that people are realizing the necessity of having a house furnished in real, homelike fashion. To Comfort and Relieve. “Yes,” said Mrs. McKabe, in telling ' of an Illness from which her husband had just recovered, “Dan was awful - bad! Me and him both thought he was going to die. He was just scared stiff!
